Private Blog?
Ok, so after some debating and conversations with the hubby, we have decided in the best interest for our family...we will probably be making our blog private. I have always hated it when people make their blog private because then I can't "blog stalk" and hop from one blog to the next of random people. Haha! But, husband has thought for awhile that we should go private, so I want your advice!! Do it, or don't do it and why? If I decide to, please send me your email address so I can add you!! I want everyone to know the latest with our family and share it with the world, but maybe it's better to keep it inside my worldly "bubble" instead? I don't know, I go back and forth all of the time!

We decided to make ours private because my uncle works for an internet security company. He hears a lot of weird stories but there was one that really freaked me out. He said a lot of pervs look at blogs and save pictures of cute kids to their computers for their nasty purposes. It really disturbed me to think of photos of my sweet little girls in the hands of some creep. There are also some that have their "favorite blogs" and pick up on things like upcoming trips to Disneyland, etc. and then stalk the kids out that way. Yikes. We are still really careful what we say on our blog even though it's private because you never know. Anyway, that's one reason why we made the switch.
Oh and that was JILL and not Chris. He wants to make it very clear that he is not a creepy blog stalker like myself.
blogspot has some security options w/o making it private. you can make it so your blog is unsearchable on the web as well as not included for the "next" blog button. Pretty much you have to type in the address or click on your blog link through one of your friends.
If you go private, definitely add me! jenniferannereynolds@gmail.com. As you know, we have a private blog. I'm pretty open on my blog, because I also use it as my family history, and give info about our real names, birthdays, our general location, etc. I have heard way too many creepy stories, and decided that it's much better to be safe than sorry. Just beware - I think a lot fewer people read my blog because it's private, even though they are all invited to read it. So, that's the one bummer about going private.
I agree you should make your blog private there are to many pervs and crazy people in this world that like to blog stalk people as well for not good reasons and after some random comments from people i didnt know i made our blog private. Those crazy people will try anything and I would like to keep my family as safe as i can so I like to think I am doing my part by keeping them out of my personal life. Sorry did you like my rant lol.

No!! Don't go private!! Carly went private and now I'm not even one of her friends, cause she didn't have enough room to add me. You can only go private if I'm invited.

I would go private. You can create a user name and passward that you can give out when you send out emails to make it easier for folks that have a hard time remembering how to log in.
if you make it private please add me! I love reading about the happenings of your family!
